Wake Forest it is. Wake has the best singles lineup in the nation, so winning the doubles point against them is a necessity. 

[Mr.Hovis 71]

Wake did look  strong, and the Tar Heels had been on a hot streak. Would be nice to see Sigsgaard win a singles match tomorrow.

[Aleemay 304]

Wake Forest has a good number one and number two player but their bottom part of the lineup is a bit weaker - Scott, Markes, and Banzer must pull through

I also find it funny that former line 6 for Texas, Julian Zlobinsky, transferred to Wake Forest and now rides the bench there

93 and 95

That's crazy, only one player from those two seasons had any kind of a notable pro career, & she was known more as a Gator. 

 

From the '93 article... 

Quote

Although she didn't earn All-America honors, one of the keys to the national championship run was Jill Craybas. She was originally projected to fill the No. 3 singles spot, but suffered a stress fracture in one of her legs in January. She missed the beginning of the spring season and did not return until mid-April. Without Craybas in the lineup, UT was 3-4 against teams ranked in the top 10 in the nation. With Craybas inserted in the lineup, Texas went undefeated, including the three consecutive wins over the top three teams as she posted a 6-0 record down the stretch.

And '95... 

Quote

Texas clinched the match at No. 2 doubles when Pastor and Taylor defeated former Longhorn Jill Craybas and Divya Merchant, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2. Pastor and Taylor went up a break, 4-1, in the second set, but Florida fought off two match points and rallied to take the final two games. After taking a 5-0 lead in the final set, the Longhorns fought off a furious Florida rally, clinching the match when Merchant's return sailed wide.

Then this... 

Quote

Rather than turning pro right away, she took the college route first, playing at the University of Texas at Austin during her freshman and sophomore years and helping to guide the Longhorns to the 1993 NCAA Championship.

Craybas finished up her degree in telecommunications at the University of Florida, where she was the 1996 NCAA singles champion and a two-time All-American and Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, guiding the Gators to the 1996 NCAA team title.

She's a damn good commentator now.

From down 40-0 to taking the first game.

[spystud13 2371]

Can’t even scrape up a few ball kids from the neighborhood for the NC match? 

[Valmy77 13554]

2-1 for #1 doubles. Let's do it!

[Valmy77 13554]

Fuck. We needed that break bad.

[perfectchaos007 6755]

That break hurt

[Valmy77 13554]

Huang and Ito take #3 doubles. We need #1 to come through.

[Valmy77 13554]

Man it is going to take a miracle now for the doubles point.

[Valmy77 13554]

They take #2. Down 5-4 for #1. Come on Texas!

[Valmy77 13554]

Match point for them 

[perfectchaos007 6755]

Lost the doubles point. We need a miracle in singles

[Valmy77 13554]

They win the doubles point. Sigh

Yep. And according to these announcers Wake is the greatest singles team ever.

Just win 4 singles Horns and you're National Champions...... Like the VY final drive, just do it!!

Hook'em  🤘

They pretty much are, especially at the top of their lineup. They win most of their matches despite losing the doubles point. Now they have the doubles point in their pocket. Winning 4 of 6 singles matches against Wake is....very difficult. Not sure if any team has done that all year

 

edit: Florida did it, but Wake was without Gojo, their #1

Heard the Greatest Team ever stuff about USC Football team too.....

[Valmy77 13554]

Yeah well I hope four Tennis VYs show up then. 

[Valmy77 13554]

Sigsgaard ties it at 2!

[Valmy77 13554]

It might...just might...not be Ito's day here.

[Valmy77 13554]

Sigsgaard up 3-2. We can still do this. Five matches are close.

His opponent is the defending NCAA singles champ. Not surprised how it's unfolding

[texas08 1599]

LETS GO BOYS!!!!


HOOK EM!!!

Wake on the verge of victory. We need one miracle.

Doh. Stupid Doubles tricked my brain there.

[sidis 9971]

Ito played a great point there...have to finish the volley. Damn.

Yep that was a crazy way to lose that set.

[Valmy77 13554]

Sigsgaard wins the first set.

[Valmy77 13554]

Is it too much to ask that they put the scores of the other matches on the screen someplace?

[SomeoneYouKnow 72]

it looks like Courts 1, 3, 5, and 6 are our path to winning

[Valmy77 13554]

Markes takes his first set.

[perfectchaos007 6755]

Banzer up a break on court 6. If we could take 4 out of 6 first sets things will get very interesting

[Valmy77 13554]

Banzer wins the set!

And he does! Tried to give it away with 2 double faults, but managed to get it done.

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Also, I hate no-ad scoring.
